which home team loses?

[bksballer89]

I don't have any numbers in front of me but it is safe to assume that usually at least one of the home teams will lose right?

I'm not sure it's safe to assume a home team will lose. Certainly possible, but all four home teams are favored by between 7 and 10.5 points. Safer to assume that at least one home team fails to cover the spread, but even that isn't entirely safe.

It seems like every year at least 1 of the top-4 teams goes down. Last year Carolina was the only one to go down but it wouldn't surprise me if one did. If I had to put money on one of these games straight up I would probably go Dallas over Green Bay. That game has shoot out written all over it and I like Dallas' chances to do well in one of those. Plus Dallas on the road just seems like an unstoppable force this season. Rarely do you see a team actually do better on the road than at home like we have with Dallas this season.

My heart hopes it's the Patriots.
My head fears it could be the Broncos.

If any then either NE or GB, both great at home but playing the 2 best road warrior teams ( Dallas this year and Balt in postseason). I doubt Carolina has a shot in the Clink and Indy at Mile-High

Some media-outlets have the patriots losing to the ravens = if there was one home-team/upset this weekend.

Agreed, as good as both NE and GB have been at home, the team's they matchup against thrive in those situations. I'm pulling for both to come out on top, feel like one will lose

I think all 4 deserve to be decent size favorites, but I could see any of them losing other than Seattle who will win by 3 plus scores

I can actually see that being the closest game

 

[Balljim55]

I'll go with Denver but what the hell do I know. I went 2 for 4 this past weekend.

I actually agree with this. You have two teams that are very similar in they both love to run and play physical defense. That style usually leads to lower scoring games. Now sometimes it seems when you have those games that look like low scoring or high scoring affairs it seems to be the opposite but I just see this one being something like 20-13 Seattle winning.

Well, all right then.

Carry on.

When you play a series usually the best team will come out... But football, upsets can happen more.... It's 1 bad game and your done... You can never look past and opponent ... Game 7 every time you take the field in the NFL playoffs... That's why #1 seeds are never a sure lock... But it's still nice having the top seed, I think everyone would agree...
